Coach_Olsson, I’m pretty sure that your router has corrupted flash memory and you will not be able to change the firmware or turn on WiFi, I have sent you a PM with details on how to seek an RMA.
In the ‘Advanced Wireless Settings’ page of the router admin, check that ‘Enable SSID Broadcast’ is selected.
If it is selected then de-select, click ‘Apply’, then select it again and click ‘Apply’, basically toggle the option.
If that still does not work use the router option to save the current configuration, then factory reset the router. After the reset see if the SSID is being broadcast by checking with your wireless computer. If it is try restoring your settings and check again.
Did it, didn't work.
